With support from this scholarship, Genevi\u00e8ve will develop training tools to help journalists, screenwriters, directors, and other media professionals better represent stuttering and including people who stutter on camera and on air. The content is grounded in her participatory doctoral research conducted with people who stutter and media professionals. The project includes three components: five video capsules on key concepts for respectful representation and inclusion, a plain-language best practices guide, and quick checklists of inclusive practices tailored to different media professions. These resources will be freely available via https:\/\/voixetmedias.org\/<\/a>. By transforming media representations and opening professional spaces to people who stutter, the project aims to reduce stigmatization. Speech-language therapists and other rehabilitation professionals can also use these resources in therapy to address self-stigmatization with their clients.<\/p>\n\ud83c\udfa7 <\/span>To listen to Genevi\u00e8ve present her proposal:<\/u><\/p>\nhttps:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1pX9v_SB3XRBlGNQTNC_ULQGBYSQtfOzH\/view?usp=sharing<\/a><\/p>\n![\"Group](\"https:\/\/crir.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/20251127_Bourse-Forget-Belanger-2025_Recipiendaire-Groupe-1024x576.jpg\")
